Hard Bricked LG L7 (swap) - Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed the swap nonsense and that was the last of it.
I have battery (checked it using my friends phone, also L7).
But phone reacts to NOTHING!
No usb-comp connection holding different buttons. No combo before inserting battery.
Its DEAD.
Greed Kills.
I bought the phone abroad and so warranty does not cover, and well the repair price according to the LG guy is about $200 which is about the price of the phone.
Any ideas?

Read this, tried the same, tried to use swap on a L5

HEX file
Any idea which HEX file i should use?
Plus, i tried connecting my phone to the computer holding the vol dwn button (to enter dwnload mode) and then connected it o PC(running linux mint). Does not recognize like it did for the L3 Guy.
Thanks in advance for helping me.

Yes, because that is so hard. "Always, a problem arose. Already, and the phone will work isn't clear."

You have to do it with the battery removed.
You need Windows anyway for the tool.

Thanks a lot guys for helping me.
I am getting the hex file right now. The QDL drivers; they are not installing. Its probably cause i m running Win8 64 bit.
Are there QDL drivers for windows 8 64 bit?
None of my frnds are running XP either.

Up + down + pwer

Without battery, then connected to PC
Linux mint: dmesg not showing any GOBI.... device as the post says.

No, pull out battery, attach one end of USB cable to phone, hold volume down, attach other end of cable to PC. Should start Modem Download Mode, only then release volume key.

Hey, I know it. But VirtualBox will use your Windows8's ports. So, your VirtualMachine can't detect your USB as in XP.
If you look "device manager in Virtual XP" you can't see any USB port.
If you give VirtualMachine access to USB (guess additions), again it will be using your MotherMachine's (Windows8) ports.

Allright.
Plan of action:
1. Go to Ubuntu, press vol down key while usb attached to phone. Then connect to Comp. Should i proceed if this step does NOT work?
2. Get XP live in USB.
3. Boot XP.
4. Install all required stuff.
5. Follow procedure to unbrick.

Unless you see your phone is in Modem Download Mode (screen should probably turn on) and detected by PC, there is no point in proceeding. Remember, do this without your battery. And pull out the SIM card too. If it isn't detected, try another USB port.
You can also try a different combination: plug your phone first, then hold volume key down.
But like I said, somebody said it worked in VirtualBox...

Hello,im having updating problems..!

<PLEASE READ WELL>
So,i have a galaxy s GT-i9000T and it seems there is no way of updating it! i can only put it on download mode trough ADB(dont know if that has to do with anything,just pointing it out since a lot of people cant use 3 button combo) and ive installed samsung drivers,kies,android sdk,java sdk and when i connect the phone to my pc in download mode it displays ''unrecognized device'' odin doesnt detect it and kies gets stuck at 0% while in download mode im supposing neither of my <<two different computers with 3 usb ports each>> seem to recognize it im on echlair 2.1 update 1 and i am very frustrated.
any help is apreciated!
PS:sorry for long post!1!!!
Check your drivers mate.
Sounds like a driver issue. Unless your phone's USB port or something is broken.
uninstalled kies and installed HTC and samsung driver for mobile phones and still no luck,i can transfer data/files from my phone to my computer so i dont think the usb is the problem :/

First try a normal installation of this package:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
(pick the one for your OS, 32bit or 64bit - I don't know which one you got )
If that fails too, go into device manager, find the "unrecognized device", right click on it and click "Update driver software.." or something like that.
Then choose that you have driver files for this device and point to the folder where you extracted the package and let it search for the proper file.
i already had it installed...no luck! FML ):

Well, I don't know..
Can't think of anything else without actually seeing what's going on..
Maybe I could try helping you using some remote administration software, like teamviewer, but that requires that you trust me so.. ehh.
I also read on another topic that this could also be some usb malfunction (hardware issue).
Plus you said you used 2 PC's and many USB ports so.. don't know.
odin recognizes my phone while on with usb debugging on...
so it has to be drivers issue.
but I can't really help without seeing.
try playing around with the manual way again, pick some other options etc.
i'm off to bed. good luck

I couldn't get it to work that way because of the make-up of the iso file...it seems less a typical disc image to me than a series of files, including a Setup application and an autorun file, disguised as a system disc image. So, just installed thru cmd in Windows and yes, it blew everything away, but since I have everything either on my phone, backup drives, or the cloud, it didn't make a difference to me. Haven't had time to explore the build yet, but hopefully a good bit more polished than the previous build.
it installed that way fine for me, just use the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool, from Microsoft, and back it up to the USB Flash Drive, and boot my PC from it.
How to easily make a bootable USB with Windows 8:
First you need: A USB. The disk letter of it when you will format it. In the examples I will assume the letter will be G:, but you must use the one you get.
1. Download Windows 8 ISO.
2. Extract the files into a folder.
3. Insert a USB in your PC.
4. Open cmd (Win+R. Type cmd).
5. Type these commands:
diskpart
list disk
select disk selection number of your USB drive disk
clean
create new partition
select partition 1
active
format fs=ntfs quick
assign Here you will get the USB drive letter
exit
cd "path to Win8 extracted files/boot"
bootsect /nt60 G:
6. Close cmd and copy all the extracted W8 files to the USB drive.
Done. You have a bootable USB with Windows 8.
Lol I know how to put windows on a flash drive. Only thing was I don't wanna lose all my videos.

[Q] Problem updating the ADB drivers

Hello,
Just an average XDA noob speaking here. Reason i'm creating this topic is because I'm having problems getting the ADB composite drivers right. Previously I've rooted a HTC Hero without any problems, but with my Huawei U8800 Ideos X5 I just can't fix it, I searched in all corners of the Internet. Below are my specs.
- Android 2.3.5
- Unbranded
I've also tried to root with SuperOneClick and by replacing the boot.img, but I can't get it to work because of the drivers.
When I get to recover mode (the pink/purple screen) it isn't showing me the IMAGE folder on my computer. Also tried to install new drivers for the ADB composite by using the H:/Mobile Partner disk on my phone but that isn't helping either. It says their isn't any new hardware found in the folder, but as you can see on the image, there are still exclamation marks. I Also uninstalled the drivers a few times and tried to re-install them but that isn't working neither. Firstly my phone was recognized as an Other device > Ethernet Controller in the device manager screen. But that was possible to solve by browsing to the H:\MobilePartner\Drivers folder.
By the way, when in recovery mode plugged in the computer, it shows me two drivers called "HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES". I can't seem to find a good driver for those, they also show the !-mark.
Any help will be appreciated! :good:

What's the best way to do that? Just delete them from the device manager screen and letting them re-install automaticly by the phone? Or just download drivers from the internet and install it manually?

if u r doing manual driver installation, then its best to disallow auto-installation by windows..
delete all instances from device manager, or u may use an application called "USBDeview" to remove the usb drivers.. and i think this second way is probably doing it more cleanly..

[REPOST][TOOL] TPDebrick by jcsullins

Didn't see this over here, posting for people who don't check Rootz. I'll just post his description here. Downloads and instructions in the OG thread. Now for the good stuff:
From the README: TPDebrick v0.1 by jcsullins
===========================
TPDebrick is a set of files and scripts used to "de-brick" HP Touchpads. This process should allow the revival of Touchpads that cannot boot (only gives QDLoader mode) due to corrupted partitioning or bootloaders. Note that this should allow you to get into bootie (webOS) recovery mode. Additional steps may be needed after that to restore the bootie configuration or Operating System (i.e. webOS doctor).

thanks, will save it somewhere to try when i got a bug (hope not )
tpdebrick v004 is out, saved a co-workers touchpad today :good:
I may be in need of using this on my touchpad. I can't seem to revive it from the battery with question mark. After having mistakenly let the battery get so low it auto powered off while running CM9. My questions before proceeding with this are:
Am I doing the power + vol up + home correctly? Am I supposed to do it while plugged into a PC or wall outlet or while not plugged in to get the USB icon? As this is to be determined to know if this tool is needed to fix the TP.
And second question if I use this tool to fix my TP will I lose all ROM (internal storage) and virtual SD card data? If it will is there any chance of being able to back up data before doing the process or recovering the data after? All my backups of the TP reside on the virtual SD card. Something I'm beginning to think is a bad idea given my resent issues. I'm considering cloud storage for backups. I never expected to run into situations where I'd lose data on the SD or lose access to the SD but anyways I'm rambling.

I am fairly certain it does not matter whether its plugged into pc usb port or mains. You should get the usb icon regardless.

In my experience of using this tool, as user data/configuration/etc is present after the de-bricking process.

It ran just fine on my 12.10, 64 bit intel box that I use to build android. I hope it can work for your arm box. Give it a try. It shouldn't fail in any disasterous way, it should just give an error. Jcsullins wrote the code pretty well in that respect.
Otherwise, you will need an intel or amd machine that you can boot a live cd on.
Best of luck.
This is such an awesome tool for the touchpad, should be in everyone's repertoire

My touchpad was completely dead and the battery sign wouldn't even come on. Not surprising, considering I hadn't charged it in a month. Regardless, I took it apart and removed the battery. I didn't have a battery charger so I took an old USB wire and spliced it exposing the + and - wires. I plugged the USB portion into the TP charger and the exposed wires into the respective positive and negative ports of the battery. I left it like that for a couple days, put everything back together and it started up with the ? mark in a battery symbol. Ran the debrick tool and my TP's good as new! Amazing tool from an amazing developer!

adb is a special android thing. You need to install it to just use it anywhere. Do this:
1. Create a folder on your desktop (you can call it root or whatever you want).
2. Extract IORoot into folder created in step one.
3. SHIFT RIGHT CLICK and do "open command window here" (This is the most important).
4. type
Code:
adb devices
5. if you devices shows run the root.bat file to root your device.
Look at this for a little more help.

This is just a thought, but maybe, power the phone off, power the PC off. Turn them both back on, re-read the instructions on how to root the phone. It sort of sounds like you could be missing just a little thing on the instructions. You may also try a different USB port on your PC too. I rooted mine back on iRoot 6 so I would have to think that iRoot 10 should be better then what I used.

It has been a while sense I rooted mine, but I think the fix for me was getting the drivers from the LG Site and using the LG Flash tool.

I had the same issue. I installed these lg drivers, not sure if they had anything to do with it because it still didn't work. What finally worked was when I turned off debug and may have been in mtp connection. Obviously after you have to put back in debug and ethernet connection to follow the ioroot method.

Ethernet mode is in enabled in your phone. Settings > scroll to bottom "pc connection."

unfortunatly with ethernet on i am still getting the same results... its just not recognizing my device? at least now in the notification bar i get the notification that USB debugging is on so i guess im making progress? uggh this is getting pretty annoying any thoughts guys?
Run it directly from local drive root. IE C:/ Windows 7? Control alt delete. End the stale adb process, you should see two, one not performing sitting around 2000 kb ram and the other using ram. End that and it should force adb to kick in. I had to do this on win 7 multiple times with dif phones. It's like it locks up when finding the com port or whatever the hell it's doing. I take no blame if you screw up your device this way. I have resorted to a virtual xp for all my phone needs as not everything works in Linux.
Here's how rooted my phone with IORoot:
Unzipped IORoot to root of my hard drive
Plugged in phone with usb (make sure debug mode is enabled). When prompted to choose connection, choose modem. You should see debug icon appear in status bar. If not, choose Ethernet.
Opened IORoot folder. Hold down shift and right click an empty area and choose 'open command window'
Type adb devices. If device shows up, proceed. With normal root procedure.

Not sure if it matters but I am running 64 bit Windows 8
- In the instructions didn't you have to change a setting for the Com Port to get it to see the phone??
- Did you ever get the prompt on your phone to accept the Connection. I can not remember what it was, but it only comes up once, and I am not referring to the USB connection IE Ethernet??
- Are you sure you have Developer Options turned on?? The step where you keep tapping on the Developer thing and then the phone finally gives you the Developer Options??
